Job Description
Powder Art Foundation (PAF) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) contemporary art organization dedicated to commissioning, presenting, and stewarding ambitious works of art installed throughout Powder Mountain in Utah's Wasatch Mountains. Spanning more than 8,000 acres of alpine terrain, PAF functions as an open-air museum where visitors encounter artworks within a dynamic landscape shaped by changing seasons, weather, and topography. Working with leading international artists, PAF supports projects across sculpture, installation, sound, architecture, and environmental practice. Some works are conceived specifically for the site, while others take on new meaning through their placement within the mountain environment. Together, they create opportunities for reflection, discovery, and engagement that extend beyond the traditional museum setting. Situated within Powder Mountain, one of the largest ski resorts in the United States, PAF operates as an independent nonprofit organisation whose curatorial program is uniquely informed by the mountain's trails, infrastructure, and landscape. The result is a distinctive cultural destination where contemporary art and the alpine environment exist in ongoing dialogue
